Sequels to classic material within music and movies have always been a gamble. There have been incidents where sequels were better and actually surpassed the classic (Terminator 2). But for every classic movie with a great sequel, There have been many with horrible ones(Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street and other cheesy horrible movies). But within hip hop culture, It’s truly a whole different playing field.

When it was announced that Eminem announced that there was gonna be a sequel to his 2000 near classic album The Marshall Mathers LP, The anticipation went through the roof. Eminem even went back and dyed his hair back blonde this time around, giving the indication that he’s going back to that wild, crazy, Mr Don’t Give a Fuck persona that pushed all buttons, pissed off pro righteous groups and made fun of pop stars in the process.
